SDN Wars: A Galaxy Divided: OOC

[Master_Baerne]

I'd like a trade pact with my Imperial brethren, and my Emperor was a commodore in the Imperial Navy, I'll let you decide if they know each other.

[DarthShady]

AMT, the next move is yours.

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

Ah.. I hate to say this but.. how far is the Etti Alliance from Bakura? A shuttle is too short ranged for that sort of jump I think.

Why? A Lambda has a hyperdrive, is specifically designed for pan galactic travel, and can comfortably seat over 20 people with 80 tons of equipment.

20 people in a rather cramped environment? Sure I think it can be done....

I'm not sure where I read that it was rather short ranged. *shrug* Seems that it has 2 months consumables.

I think the back end is supposed to be used for it. It probably works like a submarine with a lot of double and triple decker cots in the back.
Me? I have a jacuzzi

Will the mods protest if I do a last minute change of the OOB with an exchange of a couple of cruisers for a Sith Knight? I just realised that my head of Intelligence ought to be a Force user of sorts...

[The Romulan Republic]

Is my OOB acceptable in its current form, or are there any changes I need to make?

[Thanas]

A few words before I get down to business - let's not go too overboard with influences from other universes. This is Star Wars, not "let's rip off B5, Star Trek, Warhammer et al".

PM me the details and we'll see. In general, this shouldn't be a problem.

You have PM.

Well, to be honest, what if we take ideas and fit Star Wars weapons to them? To be honest, I never fancied Star Wars assault vehicles. I always found them to be quintessentially retarded. A vehicle massing the same mass as an AT-AT walker could dish out more damage if it were a mere tank. Like the Tank Droid had way more firepower than an AT-AT thanks to that massive particle cannon. I probably would shorten it, and place it on a wider chassis instead and it would be my Imperial Baneblade.

Then I will shrink down the weapon and cut down on this and that, and make a heavy AFV and an infantry support tank with good anti-armor abilities depending on rounds. That would then be my Land Raider and Leman Russ.

[Thanas]

Nah, that's OK.

[Thanas]

Thanks to Mr Bean, the rules have been updated so there is no need for searching this thread anymore.

Thank you all for your patience.

[Thanas]

Alright, my bid budget post is up, showing some nice details about my Council and the health situation of the regent.

Also, a lot of diplomatic proceedings.

I've also outlined a plan to get the holonet working again - without it, nations such as mine with widespread holdings are screwed as the lack of simultaneous communication is a serious strategic disadvantage.

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

There ought to be a number of hyperspace transceivers functioning out there. The only time they became targets for destruction was during the Yuuzhan Vong war.

[Siege]

Quick question: I can use my seven trade pacts to either add +25 per pact to my economy, or use them to upgrade my planets, but not both, correct? And next year I'll have another 7 pacts to spend regardless of what I did with 'em this year?

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

Are there any specific rules against colonisation? I would probably colonise some worlds around Rothana and Gyndine.

No. You have seven trade pacts. Regardless of what you do (unless you cancel them), they add +25 to your economy.

You can use them one-time (and one time only) to upgrade your planets, but this will take some time.

I honestly don't know why I have to explain this - it is not like the rules don't already have specific examples and show what is to happen with them.

No, there are not - however you will have to pay defences single and also note that your expansion has to be realistic. For example, no expanding aka "Hey, I suddenly pulled 16 new colony worlds out of my behind".

The mods have not discussed this, but I'll bring them up.

[Thanas]

The transceivers are fine, the receiver stations however have been destroyed. Hyperspace transceivers cannot really be destroyed as they are in hyperspace.

More info.

Think of it like the internet - the cables are still there, the massive computers that route traffic are not.

Also, note that I am essentially not trying to profit from this - it just serves as fluff. Pretty expensive fluff, yes, but not something that will make me rich.

[Thanas]

As an aside, the mods are in concurrence that we might start this game at any time.

So yeah, let's go have some fun.

[DarthShady]

I have quite a few surprises planed for you guys.

[Thanas]

NPC factions, all designed by me and approved by the mods, are up.

[Master_Baerne]

Um, I think I alrady have Sleheyron, actually.

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

Would any budget issued implement in the new game year and new construction begin then or?

Eh? I don't understand what you mean.
